I thought this skill would be way above my level as i'm still a student mid way through my under-graduate , but you guys made it look like a child's play. I’m actually able to do web scraping after watching your video. Well done FCC team , good job boys💪🔥.

This is definitely one of the best hours I spent on YouTube. Quality content for free. We don't deserve this...

Excellent content... structured and explained in a way easy to understand. I'm not native english spoken and still learning both english as python. So, thank so much. Can you give us some strategies to handle pagination ? Selenium maybe or other one ?
His teaching skills and accent are just fantastic.

This is so cool! I just finished the whole video and was able to follow through. It's amazing to know what Python can do. Thank you!
This surely is one of the best tutorial on web scraping. I was hoping to see how to iterate for listing spread across multiple pages.
Great tutorial! I would add that you can name the file with a unique timestamp, because after 10 minutes the files would get overwritten if you are just using the index
Great course! I can't get over how he says "beautiful soup" it's wonderful

Great explanation, easy to follow. Just starting out with the whole scraping thing and here you get some good tips and concepts explained. Well done!! Thank you
Absolutely brilliant course. An excellent introduction to web scraping and how python programmers solve problems. Well done.
Outstanding explanation and learned a lot. Thanks, Jim for your great efforts. I love your PyCharm code editor theme. Please tell me which theme are you using in this content.

I see some comments about people receive none from scraping responses, unfortunately it might be expected from websites that are dynamically changed and being updated, there is a great chance that the website had some updates in this 4-month span, and then it affects your results. Try to scrape differently by inspecting to the elements like I show in the website user interface :)
